  Speaker 1: The Mark Smosa on seventoo Well, let's talk to the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: greatest columnist of all, Michael Goodwin. His column is in
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the New York Post every Sunday and every Wednesday, and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: all his columns are up on the New York Post website.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Michael Goodwin, how you doing.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Good morning? Mark? Thank you.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Hey. You used to work at the New York Times
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: for a while, and you know that organization. They've always
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: been a pretty antisemitic going back, I mean even in
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: World War Two everything, But what the hell is going
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: on over here? They've gone over the top antisemitic.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: The papers had a really checkered history with a lot
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of the major issues in our world. I mean, I've written,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Mark and you and I've discussed I believe the fact
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that the owning family were Confederate sympathizers during the Civil War,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and the fact the mother of the man who bought
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: The New York Times in eight ol Fox in eighteen
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: ninety six. She was buried with a Confederate flag on
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: her cask in, and she was a founding member of
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the of several several Confederate monuments in the South. But
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: so they've had their checker history. Certain although the family
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: was Jewish. They've had the problems as you mentioned in
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: World War Two in not wanting to report on the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: camps uh and then of course the covering for Stalin
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in the whole Hong famine. Their correspondent I actually won
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the pullets of the Pulitzer Prize at the time. Eventually
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: decided to have it removed, but the pullets aboard were
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: not withdraw the award. So you're right. The paper has
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: been all over the place. But I think what has
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: happened most recently is very troubling. It is it has
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: now equated Israel and America as colonists essentially, and so
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you know, it's all about race and ethnicity, and so
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the Palestinians are being held up as though they are
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the black Americans of this country, and white America is horrible,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: White Jewelry is horrible. So this is a patterning of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: them going after the foundations of Western civilization. And it
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense except the radicals are now selecting
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the topics and the targets, and the Times editors are
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: either complicit or sleep at the switch.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So they went so far as Nicholas Christoph writing this
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: ridiculous allegation that Israel is training dogs to rape women
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: with the flimsiest of sources. Why would the editor, why
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: would the publisher allow them to print something like that.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing, man, that was you know, as
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you mentioned the source of my Sunday column. And it
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: just doesn't make any sense why you would go out
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: there and the science says it's anatomically impossible for dogs
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to penetrate human beings, and yet they put that in
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the paper and say it's all been fact checked. Well,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: how do you fact check something that isn't scientific, that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: isn't real. And so you know, the Post says a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: story today coming out of the website park talking about
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: how there's some upset in the newsroom over this, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I heard some of myself which I reported that people
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: are saying. This would not have passed Mustard as an
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: ordinary news story because somebody was said, well, what's your
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: source of dogs raping you and beans? And they would
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: have had to say, well, it's this person who is
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a Hamas sympathizer or somebody who you know promoted Hamas. Okay,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: well can we verify this any either way? A good
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: editor would ask, well, no, I can't find the scientist
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: who says it's even possible. Okay, spike the story. That's it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: We don't trust you, the reporter. It's actually what the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: garbage you're producing. Take go home, Just go home, because
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: you're not trustworthy. But it's time instead through its full
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: support behind Christoph, because Christoph the man who actually wrote that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And I think that in so doing they've implicated the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: whole paper. Instead of sort of saying, wait a minute,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: we have second thoughts here, they've wrapped their arms around
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Christoph and effect we put the paper on the line
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: for what is simply a scientifically impossible act, not to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: mention all the other things in his column that just
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: take this propaganda from this NNGO, which is filled with
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Hamas sympathizers and printed as fa You cannot do that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: at any level of journalism. As I say, my call
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it a rookie. Your reporter would say no, no, no, I'm
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: not going there. But Christoph doesn't have paper embraces him.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: That's compounding the error.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: So now Israel has announced they will file a massive
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: lawsuit against the New York Times. What will come of that?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: No, it's hard to see how you win the losses.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: The whole country has been the things. Nonetheless, if you
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: can get into court and go through a discovery process,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: or you're allowed to get into the emails and message
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: chain and anything that has to do with doubts about
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the column, and then you can begin to really say
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that they just ran through the doubts, they saw the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: red lights, and they kept going because they wanted they
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: wanted to be able to say that the Israelis are
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the beasts, the Israelis are the problem, and that they
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: have tortured the Palestinians. Oh, but we're not talk about
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the Israeli hostages who were murdered, raped, corpses that were raped.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, all the heinous things that the Palestinians in
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the Times doesn't ready subscribe to. That it's only trying
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to put the shoe on the other foot, that's what
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: they're about.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, some of our top top lawyers are all
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: volunteering to help Israel with this lawsuit, so we'll see what.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Look, I think I think this has already brought up
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: all the time, and it does hurt them beyond the
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: immediate case. It does reinforce this agenda that they have
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and the perception that they are sort of out of
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: control and displaying the race card all the time, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that they've lost touch with their own history, which is,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you know, all the news that fit to print, right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and all the rules that are contracting. Somebody who're writing
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: about giving them time to respond that they're times of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: tamous for those kind of standards, but they violate them
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: now every day.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, Michael good Will, golly a minute left, mom
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Dannie with his anti Semitism, of his anti Israel, allowing
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: riots in front of synagogues, and some people are surprised
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he's let it go this far, But then there are
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: other people saying, why didn't you believe when he told
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you what he stands for when he was running.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Nobody should be surprised, that's right.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Make he made it very clear where he stood. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: can't I can't honestly say at this point that anything
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: he's done as mayor has been a surprise. I think
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: he is who he is, and he was who he
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: said he was, and he is today, So there's no
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: surprise here. Is still shocking that he was elected in
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the first place.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it's only three and a half more years. We
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: can make it right.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like like I like.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Well, Michael Goodwin great work is always and everybody read
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: his column every Sunday every Wednesday in the New York Post.
• 9:09

• 9:23
  Speaker 1: radio show in America. Now he's been on the trip
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: with the President. He was in shining with him the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: whole time. It's a brutal flight. It's about seventeen hours.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: That's some real jet leg. So Sean will be back today.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: He'll probably have all sorts of inside stories and things
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to tell you about the trip. That's three to six today,
